A service is a product that consists of primarily intangible attributes.
Intangible means something you can not touch because it lacks the physical nature like an object (good). A service has value like a good but no presence.
Examples of intangible products/services are a travel agent, insurance, education and healthcare, along with many more.

Answer:
The correct answer is: when buyers and sellers have influence on price.
Explanation:
The imperfect market situations exist when there are few buyers or sellers such that they are able to influence the market. For instance, in a perfectly competitive market, there is a large number of buyers and sellers. So, any single buyer or seller is not able to influence the market. The price and output are determined by the market forces.
In an imperfect market such as monopoly or oligopoly, few firms exist so they are able to fix output and price on their own.
Answer:
e) $4,651
Explanation:
The break-even point is the level of activity that a company must operate to have its total cost equal to its total revenue. At this level of activity, the business makes a zero profit, as the total contribution is exactly the same as the total fixed cost.
It is important for the business to have an idea of the number of customers or units of product to sell inorder for it to cover its total fixed cost. This is the information the break-point analysis seeks to provide.
Working it out
Break-point in sales = Total General fixed cost/ Contribution margin ratio
Contribution margin ratio (CMR): Contribution is sales less variable costs. And the contribution margin ratio is the proportion of sales that is earned as contribution. The higher the better.
CMR = contribution/sales
Fixed cost = Contribution + net loss
We can now apply all these relationships to the question given:
Fixed cost = 1720 + 280
= 4,000
Contribution margin ratio = 1720/400 = 43%
Break-even sales ($) = 4000/0.43
= $4,651
